Table showing the Maximiim, Minimum and Average Per Cents, of the 

 Different Ingredients foxind in Wood Ashes for the Seasons of 1903 

 and 1904. 



From the above tables it will be seen that the percentage 

 of potassium oxide in the Avood ashes received during the 

 season is, on the average, somewhat less than for the pre- 

 vious season. The average of phosphoric acid is the same; 

 while the average percentage of lime is somewhat higher 

 than for 1903.
